Limitations on subdiffraction imaging with a negative refractive index slab

Abstract

A planar slab of material, for which both the permittivity and permeability have the values of −1, can bring not only the propagating fields associated with a source to a focus, but can also refocus the nonpropagating near fields, thereby achieving resolution beyond the diffraction limit. We study the sensitivity of this subwavelength focus to the slab material properties and periodicity, and note the connection to slab surface plasmon modes. We conclude that significant subwavelength resolution is achievable with a single negative index slab, but only over a restrictive range of parameters.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
